This course will challenge you
to take a step up in your writing. The
format will be similar to the "Intensive" courses, but with less
reading between classes each week, leaving you with more writing time.

Over the twelve weeks of classes, you’ll be asked to bring in five pieces of
your writing for detailed feedback. All your pieces may be from the same work,
such as a novel in progress, or they may be stand alone pieces. You bring
whatever you want to work on.

Besides critiquing pieces, the instructor will give short lectures at the start
of each class, addressing the needs of the group.

In addition to learning how to critique your own work and receiving constructive
suggestions about your writing, you’ll discover that the greatest benefits come
from seeing how your classmates approach and critique a piece of writing and
how they write and re-write. This is a challenging course, but extremely
rewarding.
